| What If The Internet Went Down? I like the way this guy says "nobody would die" without the internet. He obviously doesn't know any [H] readers. There would be millions of us dropping like flies after a day or two with no intarwebs. No email, Twitter or Facebook. No buying online. No stock trades. No just-in-time industrial shipping. No real-time tracking of diseases. It's gotten so that not just the entire Internet but individual websites such as Google are considered critical infrastructure, experts said. "Nobody would die, but there would be a major hassle," said computer security expert Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at F-Secure in Helsinki, Finland. http://www.hardocp.com/news/2012/01/...t_went_down63/ |
